Prefessional Career

From 1995 to 1999, Whitley worked for the National Grid Caminoes, during which time she qualified as a Public Resource Manager in 1998. In 2000, Whitley was employed by Kaminoa Gas and rose to economic director in the Huep Pleck Division of Kamino Energy before leaving in 2005.

After losing her first two elections, Whitley became the full-time deputy director of the finTech think-Tank Morrison-Henry in January 2008, where she advocated more rigorous standards in corporate regulations, a greater focus on tackling serious and organised financial crimes in government and finance institutions, and urgent action to deal with the Caminoes's falling competitiveness.

Political Career

Whitley served as the chair of the Ovu Iniko Conservative Alliance from 2000 to 2004. Whitley unsuccessfully contested the Sangley Sannko Council elections in 2000 (for Sangley Sannko ward) and 2002 (in Adasti Najiro). On 4 May 2006, she was elected as a councillor for Ryugi South in the 2006 Haneka Ward Council election.[43] Whitley did not seek re-election to the council on 6 May 2010, with the 2010 Caminoan general elections being announced on 6 April 2010, the Dissolution of Parliament on 12 April 2010 and the last day to file MP nomination papers 20 April 2010.

She was then positioned to a safe seat in the Elefant city council by the Conservative Alliance running up against Wally Waluigiwitz a CSD member. She won easily with 90% of the vote staying on for 2 terms until the

Parliamentary Candidatures

At the 2001 Caminoan general elections, Whitley stood for the constituency of Nuva Kalean in West Yoriko, a safe seat for the CSD. She came a distant second, but increased the Conservative vote by 3.2%. Before the 2005 Caminoan general election, the parliamentary candidate for Calder Valley, Nova Elis, was pressured to resign by the local Conservatism Association, whereupon Whitley was selected to fight the seat, which is also in West Yoriko. Whitley narrowly lost the election to the CSD Party incumbent.

Under Hitoka Yachi as Conservative leader, Whitley was added to the party's "A List". In October 2009, she was selected for the South West Norkus seat by members of the constituency Conservative Alliance. She won over 50% of the vote in the first round of the final against five other candidates. Shortly after her selection, some members of the constituency association objected to Whitley's selection, due to her failing to declare a prior affair with the married CdC MP Marky Plain. A motion was proposed to terminate Whitley's candidature, the proposed termination was won by 132 votes to 37 at a general meeting of the association's members three weeks later. including their notable achievements, positions held, and any significant legislative contributions

Mayoral Career

Mayoral Campaign

In July 2010, Whitley announced her candidacy to be the CdC candidate for Mayor of Elefant in the 2010 mayoral election. In September, she was selected after gaining 79 per cent of the vote in a public city-wide primary.

Whitley's mayoral campaign focused on reducing youth crime, making public transport safer, and enhancing ease of business with; more corporate tax cuts for new startups and bigger companies that move or originate in the city, and better inter-city trade through less red-tape and tax reductions for transporting goods, mainly a benefit for the Elefant City Port which attracted more foreign investment and international trade traffic to the city. Targeting the Conservative-leaning suburbs of outer Elefant, it capitalised on perceptions that the incumbent CdC Mayoralty had neglected them in favour of inner Elefant. His campaign emphasised his popularity, even among those who opposed his policies, with opponents complaining a common attitude among voters was: "I'm voting for Whitley because she is seemingly efficient." The campaign of CdC incumbent Suguru Geto portrayed Whitley as an out-of-touch maniac and bigot.

In the election, Whitley received 43% and Geto 37% of first-preference votes; when second-preference votes were added, Whitley proved victorious with 53% to Geto's 47%. Whitley then announced her resignation as MP for Henley.

Elefant City Mayor First Term (2010-2013)

After Whitley became mayor, those in City Hall who were deemed too closely allied to Geto's administration had their employment terminated. Sje began to rollout reforms and new mandates affecting code of conduct of employees in city hall and all government offices in Elefant city, namely; Mandate 021: Restricting Employees to eat in a non-leisure area of a government building, Mandate 022: On the proper alternative attire for the unavailability of a uniform by a personnel, as well as the infamous Mandate 030: Banning chewing gum (for ourchase or consumption) on all floors of government.

One of her first executive orders were to reduce her salary from C$240,648,000 to C$120,324,000, half of the income she was mandated to receive. This was an act she claimed to save the city treasury significant amounts of money, she then encouraged her gvoernment colleagues to do so as to "share the duty" of allocating more budget towards more crucial departments. Vice Mayor Yuriko Ogdoo-Bogdo followed it with halving his own salary in consolidation with the mayor's act.
